China is a Huge threat to us and we would be foolish not to keep that in our heads.
There is peace in Iran? There is peace when they beat down activists? Move to Iran and see if you can post and say the same negative comments made about our Gov't. We would'nt hear from you for very long.
There is a common misconception about many undemocratic governments, that is their people don't know what's going on or that they cannot protest. The truth is, unlike so-called democratic governments, these governments don't have to hide what they're doing because people don't have a say in the matter. But in places that pride themselves on their democratic nature, ...they hide everything, and feed the people bullshit, because if the people really knew what was taking place, they'd demand a stop to it, ...and these so-called democracies would have to tip their hands to the fact that they really are a dictatorship. When you can't justify it, you habve to hide it, ...and when you can't hide it, ..you have to spin it. And when they can no longer spin, prepare for the hammer to come down {psst} ...but of course we all know it will be the 'terrorists' doing it.
Chinas generals want to destroy us and they have been quote saying so. Will they ever try? Who knows.
Osama was quoted many times about his hatred of America. look what has happened with radical muslims.
Yes, ...lets look at what happened with radical muslims. The single biggest factor in radicalizing them throughout their history has been the heavy handed interference & imperialism of others. The torture of islamicists has turn moderate islamicists into extreme radicals, ...and the murder of innocent civilian men, women & children has turned apathetic apolitical types and moderates alike into islamic activists. Current imperialist policy has created more radical islamic fundamentalists than the islamic fundamentalists were ever capable of doing on their own.
